Celebrate the Small Things

It’s Friday again and that means time to post those things we’re celebrating this week, as part of a blog hop led by Lexa Cain. This week, I have several things to celebrate. Made it to the gym/outdoor cardio every day this week. Yesterday I got to go for a fun walk at Wildwood Park. […]

The Mighty

No one knew her name, including herself, because she had forgotten it long ago. To most, she was simply that strange lady who wandered the streets of their town, who slept beneath the bridge. Some said she was a witch, and perhaps this was closest to the truth. Certainly the authorities they called in to […]

Let’s

Let’s go to the movies. I’ve really been wanting to watch the latest Quentin Tarantino. Great idea. Let’s invite our friends. Yeah, let’s. Let’s go out for ice cream after. Anyone else want to? No? Let’s go anyway. Let’s. Let’s kiss a little. Let’s go back to my place. Yes, let’s. Let’s exchange phone numbers […]

King for a Day

  In retrospect, I should have known something was not quite right about the offer. I had already decided to stop responding to strange internet ads. Like, that one time the really great deal on a new Xbox turned out to be a cardboard box with an X and a smiley face on it. Ha […]

Just Breathe

While I stand at the edge of the diving board, ready to make my mark on the water – and hopefully on the world of competitive diving – a hush takes over. You know that moment when a diver dives and everyone takes a deep breath while they watch her body descend toward the seemingly […]

Imagination

What do people often say is a waste of time, not real, an escape from reality? What creates vast castles in the clouds, lone watches on gorgeous beaches, with only three things you were allowed to bring? What can frighten us in the dark of night and inspire us in the darkest of days, lead […]

He Was a Hairy Man

Yesterday we spoke about Gary, who was a great guy. Today, we continue his tale, with his kids. As men tend to do when left to their own devices, Gary found a wife and had kids. Most of Gary’s descendants were like him: hairy, inquisitive, and reasonably intelligent. However, some of Gary’s descendants took after […]

Gods, Giants and a Guy Named Gary

When the earth was newly formed and all had not yet come to be as it presently is, the ancient giants roamed the earth freely, followed by their descendants the ancient gods.   Also, there was Gary, the first human being on earth. No one knows where he came from exactly. There are some theories […]

Celebrate the Small Things

It’s Friday and I told Lexa Cain, the upbeat blog hop’s fearless leader, I was definitely going to post something today. Also I can always use the pick-me-up, especially on days like today when I’m feeling a smidge overwhelmed. Here’s a few of the things I’m celebrating. Getting every post done so far on the […]

The Forgotten Fjord

  Hidden away in the crooked coast of what is now known as British Columbia, where winter cold bites the air and sun sparkles on icy waters, many years ago did the great god Thor rest his hammer and his head. Little did he know that black Hecate watched and waited for his slumber. Stealing […]
